    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.

    BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION R2-02-03 EVALUATION OF DOUGLAS-FIR BEETLE ALONG THE NORTH FORK OF THE SHOSHONE RIVER, SHOSHONE NATIONAL FOREST, WYOMING JANUARY 2002 PREPARED BY:_/S/ KURT ALLEN_________________________________ Kurt K. Allen Entomologist Rapid City Service Center PREPARED BY:__/s/ Dan Long __________________________________ Daniel F. Long Forest Health Technician Rapid City Service Center APPROVED BY:___/s/ Frank Cross _______________________________ Frank J. Cross Group Leader Forest Health Management Renewable Resources USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region 740 Simms Street Golden, CO 80401 ABSTRACT Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae) infestations frequently result from disturbance events that create large volumes of weakened Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees. In 1988, extensive wildfires occurred in Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest. Populations of Douglas-fir beetle increased in fire-scorched trees caused by the wildfires. Subsequent generations of the beetles moved from these injured trees to undamaged trees in neighboring stands on the Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming. This outbreak has now moved and is concentrated along the North Fork of the Shoshone River. Beetle populations continue to build and continued high levels of mortality can be expected along the North Fork. Continued use of sanitation harvest and anti-aggregation pheromones, where possible is recommended. 1 INTRODUCTION The Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins) infests and kills Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) throughout its range in North America. Typically, the beetle reproduces in scattered trees that are highly stressed, such as windfall, defoliated or fire- scorched trees (Furniss, 1962; Furniss, 1965; Lessard and Schmid, 1990). If enough suitable host material is present, beetles can increase in the stressed trees and infest nearby healthy trees (Furniss et al., 1981).
